Will these work on cabinets that have hinges on the outside? I read about some soft close that said the cabinets hinge hardware must be on the inside

I think the important detail is that you have self closing hinges on your cabinets. If you don't, these soft close adapters will hold your cabinet doors open an inch or so. An easy test is to hold your cabinet door open 2 or 3 inches, let it go, and see if it closes by itself. If it stays open, you can't use these adapters. Hope this information helps.

Yes they work very well on cabinets that have the hinges on the outside. We have had them for a little over a year and they work very well.

As long as you have self-closing hinges, these should work. They are not connected to the hinges in any way. They are designed to soften the closing action when self-closing hinges close the door.

These bumpers work very well on cabinet doors where there is a large enough piece of wood to hit when they close. If you put the bumpers on the edge of the bedroom doors they may work, but the door frame may not have enough room for good contact. You may want to try smaller bumpers or a strip of rubber to put on the door frame. Good luck!

I installed them inside my cabinet doors but be advised......it works if you have thick wood cabinet doors. If yours are the thin type it will be a no go. I had to use shorter screws that were provided so as not to pierce through the outer part of my doors. Mine are very thick oak.

If your cabinets are average size, they will not fit. Mine are open, so no problem. I love the plates, but they are larger than the average ones.

These hinges are designed to convert false drawer fronts on sink base cabinets into usable storage, using specially designed trays that mount on the back of the false drawer front. The hinges mount on the cabinet frame and the back side of the drawer front, allowing them to tilt downward to open. Not sure why you would want to use these on a "regular drawer system". Picture the drawer front without the box. These hinges could be mounted on the cabinet frame and could open and close the drawer front.

Hello Patricia,I would have to agree with the others that have answered, as it appears these are only designed for doors. There is hardware available to give drawers a soft close. If you google "soft close drawer slides", you will find numerous sources to purchase online or at stores. I also saw in the google search a you tube video to aid with installation. Hope this helps. Take care.

Are you asking how to install them without the door closing while you're doing the install? If so, we installed to the door then held it up like it would be when it was shut and screwed the hinge to the cabinet frame. If you're asking if the self-closing is optional, no its not. Like Kemosabe said, its a wonderful feature, but it's not optional, so you'll need to find different hinges if you don't want that feature.

They should work just fine. My stems extend about 1/2in past the end of the hinges. So you should have no problem.

These are meant for cabinet doors from inside. You may have to contact Stabilus directly to get the correct one for outdoor use.

Depends on the banister. You want a flat surface to attach the hinges to..... and strong.

These are self-closing hinges. They work great. If you don't want doors to close by themselves..... don't buy them. Buy a non self-closing hinge.

No, they only work with the compact hinge with blumotion. The clips fall out of the other hinges.

Unless the doors have a wooden frame (not too thick, ideal about 1 inch), don't think these will work

My kitchen cabinets have visable self-closing hinges and the dampers work well. The dampers are mounted on the cabinet frame, on the hinge side of the door. I mounted mine on the frame vertically mid-way between two (of three) hinges.

These are slightly thicker than the average "bumper" so it might hold the door/drawer open a bit too much if you doubled them up. Traditionally you put them on the door but that's not carved in stone. They would work just as well if placed on the frame of the cabinet although for appearances sake I wouldn't. Another use I've found is to put them on the two lower corners of picture frames. It helps keep them hanging straight.

The hinges need to be adjusted. Loosen the adjustment on them and see if the doors close all the way that way. If they do, then adjust accordingly. If they don't they weren't installed correctly or you bought the wrong ones.

No, you do not need special hinges. I installed the dampers on some of my large cabinet doors which eliminated the thumping of the doors when the doors were released a bit too soon. Regards.
